Tour de Fleece: The Final count

And here it is, my final production for Tour de Fleece 2013:

Finished yarn is 458 yards of 4-ply cable, about sport weight, plus more on the bobbins. The sunlight and my camera make it look darker blue than it really is -- it's lighter and more lavender than that, but the colors look truer in the remaining top that you can see the bobbins resting on.

Not bad for having to help run a county fair right smack dab in the middle of the Tour. Next year -- I think I'll be on the Lantern Rouge team and not go for such lofty goals. Next year it's going to be "spin something." No Climbers or Sprinters for me, not until my tenure with the county fair is done.
